I seem to find quite a few that give mixed signals. I'm watching this one but, unfortunately it's in a Silver Set that is overpriced (but not if it's a CAM). The A and M look close to me and the gap between M and E looks promising. The A in STATES is hard to tell but the top point looks shifted right slightly. FG looks wrong almost completely.

FG way too close to me. I haven't figured out how to use the top of the A in STATES to determine anything -- it's always the bottom for me, and here it looks centered.

Thanks for the input! I think I see a glint of a horizontal serif on the G in FG. The other markers could be lighting/blur and confusion. The best clue is showing something that should not be there. For the price, I'll pass. Unless I ask for a better pic.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Well, it doesn't matter anyway now because it sold.
I just can't bring myself to spend the money on silver sets for this kind of hunt.

I may like to roll the dice on fuzzy pics once in a while but even I have limits!   In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

 I think the Hubble telescope could get a sharper picture if that proof set were on Mars. |

Maybe it is Mars!  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

That's probably as Mars looked to Galileo...

I'm still on the hunt for both proof CAMs and business WAMs. I've gotten several sets (even a silver '98 set because the price was right  ) and have had no luck. Some were without reverse pics but, they were cheap and one included the UNC sets so I could search for WAMs, too. I assume if anyone found anything, it would be posted but, how's the search going for others?  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I've tapered off a bit on the proof sets. Instead of hitting them every day at night, I'll take a look once or twice a week. Looks like you'll get to them first! I pulled two 1998 WAMs out of a box a week or so ago, neither in pristine shape. One's up on my ebay, but it's got a rot spot on the date. Haven't had time to get through the other box of cents, since I have a few cups of coppers from the earlier box on my desk at the moment. [edit] I wanted to add that you got me with the fuzzy Mars pic twice. Both times, I thought it was actually Mars, then I scrolled back up to the fuzzy proof set. Edited by Druu

If I had taken the time then, this would have been a lot better. I even added some stars :  Maybe even Carl Sagan would have gotten a chuckle out of it. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Ok, so I'm biting the bullet and have decided to sell the 1999 proof set w/ CAM cent. I want more exposure so I will probably do so through ebay. Looking at sold listings, I found a variety of prices but the majority of them were just the cent and graded. What do you guys think about the approach? Should it be BIN (w/ or w/o Best Offer) or auction? What price would you put for either option? I want to get as much as I can obviously but be fair. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Somehow I didn't make it to the modern coin forum last night. (Site was completely unavailable around the time I usually do my pre-bed rounds.) Responded to your other thread. On a WAM/CAM related note, I got an offer of $6.50 for the 1998 WAM I've got listed on ebay. After fees, expenses, etc, I pocket around $1.75 -- be ready for low offers! |
